2.5GB LAN ports don't help your Ping or really help a 4k Tv stream video any better, it's a port for power users who want to share files on their local network (not internet) as fast as possible... for most people, a NAS attached to 1GB Ethernet or USB ports would be plenty. This DOES have a 2.5GB WAN port to connect to your ISP's gateway or modem.
Got a 4K Smart TV, media streaming box, PlayStation Portal or tablet? You're going to be able to stream or remote-play just fine. QoS services can be set to easily prioritize gaming traffic (I do recommend setting 2.4 GHz and 5GHz channels as separate WiFi networks). Range is also going to be good, especially 2.4GHz, and it should be able to handle a fair number of smart home, IoT, and computer devices just fine. Asus' app does let you turn on anti-virus and free VPN services, pretty good extra security measures for devices that can't install anti malware software themselves. I do wish there was a couple USB ports for network storage or tethering your phone to use as an emergency backup Internet gateway, but most people don't need that/wont use those features.
Seems good to me for $99. I like my huge "Sith tower" of WiFi router goodness, but honestly I feel like I overbought/overpaid XD

Which "sith tower" router did you get? I'm going to guess ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000! How close did I get? 😁
